Biography
Tucker Swanson McNear Carlson was born in San Francisco, California in 1969, the son of an American ambassador and a bohemian mother who abandoned the family to live in France. Carlson was raised in La Jolla, and he began his journalism career as a fact-checker for the conservative journal Policy Review. He later worked for the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette in Little Rock before joining The Weekly Standard in 1995. From 2000 to 2005, he was a conservative political commentator on CNN, co-hosting Crossfire from 2001 to 2005, when Jon Stewart dressed-down Carlson on air on Comedy Central, leading to the cancellation of Crossfire. From 2005 to 2008, he hosted Tucker on MSNBC, and he transitioned to Fox News in 2009. In 2016, he became host of Tucker Carlson Tonight, and, in 2018, he abandoned his earlier libertarian views and espoused a more right-wing populist economic policy, opposing market capitalism and supporting the interventionism championed by Theodore Roosevelt, which he saw as being able to prevent a communist revolution. While Carlson was a registered Democrat in Washington DC (admitting that he "always votes for the more corrupt candidate over the idealist"), praised Elizabeth Warren's economic plan for the 2020 presidential election, and praised Tulsi Gabbard's anti-regime change foreign policy, he supported an alliance with Russia (and believed that its interference with the 2016 presidential election was a hoax), he claimed that white supremacism was a myth, he claimed that white people were under attack from Mexican and Central American immigrants, neo-fascist website owner  Andrew Anglin praised Carlson's show as The Daily Stormer: The Show, and he was influential in Donald Trump's administration.
